Deceived By A Balmy March!!!!

Spring was here last week but it is gone this week!  What a tease!  Our magnolias did not reach their peak magnifigance due to the frosty nights.  The beautiful blossoms that I was anxiously waiting to photograph have withered and turned brown.  With the cold days this week I have been hestitant to go out and take photos of what is coming on and what is not.  It is funny how nature is though - and as with all things botanical - the plants are fighting to push their leaves and flowers out into the longer daylight hours.  But we must remember that this is only the beginning of April and perhaps we expecting too much. As much as we love the sunshine - we do need some rain!  The ground is dry and and it is a worry for us farmers!  We need some water so that we don't stress out the trees (But not as much as last year!!).  The landscapers are calling and we are digging as many trees as we can - as I guess they are being inundated by calls from homeowners.  We are making a first delivery of big trees to cottage country tomorrow - more than a month before Victoria day weekend!  Thaty is early for us - who knows what this Spring will provide us with.  I have ventured out into the wind and took some pictures of our first performers.
